I enjoy the show vmuch. This ep touched on some issues I have experience of. You can never cover every angle but 3 perspectives were not mentioned at all: 1) Commercial dna is vhorrible but the ONLY realistic option to find bio families&criminals.They only work because many people use them. 2) Huge reason to find a rapist father asap is in order to prevent further rapes. 3) Finding lost half siblings is often far far more important than finding a father. It is not all (or even mainly) about Him

It's pronounced "Bei-JING," not "Bei-Zhing."  Think "Jingle Bells" or feel free to ask any of the 1.5 billion Chinese.  We're not hard to find.

Informed consent wasn't raised during this episode for some reason. Sofie seems to want to make an argument therefore for rape and domestic violence??

highly recommend CBC's Uncovered. they're missing a lot of the connective tissue of the case. Kinsman was a big deal because he was white and a popular gay activist and the police really sat on their hands before knocking down someone's door. The podcast adds lots of historic context, for instance, on how murders of gay men have been treated by police.
